ACTIVE (Advanced Cognitive Training for Independent and
Vital Elderly), 1999-2001 [United States] was a multisite randomized
controlled trial conducted at six field sites with New England
Research Institutes (NERI) as the coordinating center. The field sites
included the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Hebrew Rehabilitation
Center for the Aged in Boston, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins
University in Baltimore, Pennsylvania State University, and the
University of Florida/Wayne State University (Detroit). The primary
aim of the trial was to test the effects of three distinct cognitive
interventions -- previously found to be successful in improving
elders' performance on basic measures of cognition under laboratory or
small-scale field conditions -- on measures of cognitively demanding
daily activities. Trainings consisted of an initial series of ten group
sessions followed by four-session booster trainings at one and three
years. The three cognitive interventions focused on memory, executive
reasoning, and speed of processing. The design included a no-contact
control group. Participants were assessed at baseline, immediately
after training, and annually thereafter. A total of 2,832 older adults
were enrolled in the trial, and 2,802 were included in the
analytical sample. Twenty-six percent of the participants were
African American.
